PROGRAM: Set of instructions to the computer
STORED: Program must be in primary storage
Software: Detailed instructions to control computer
operation of a computer systems. Without software, the
computer hardware could not perform any tasks.The
functions of software are to
–
–
–
(1) manage the computer resources of the organization,
(2) provide tools for human beings to take advantage of the these
resources
(3) act as intermediary between organizations and stored
information.

SOFTWARE
APPLICATION SOFTWARE
SYSTEM SOFTWARE
Generalized programs that
manage the resources of
the computer, including
-Operating System:
HARDWARE
•Scheduled computer event
•Allocates computer
resources
•Monitors events
-Language translators:
•Interpreters
•Compilers
-Utility Programs:
•Routine operations
•Manage data
Programs written for a specific application to perform functions
specified by end users.
-Programming Language
-software package
HUANG Lihua, Fudan University
Operating system
• Allocates and assigns:
– memory
» e. g., file system, virtual memory
– processor time
» e. g., multitasking, multiprocessing
– input- output devices
» e. g., printer, keyboard, etc.
• May also provide other capabilities useful to
many users or programs
– Graphical User Interface (GUI) capabilities
– Fonts, network protocols, ...

Operating system as magician(魔术师)
• The four illusions
– Many separate computers, one for each process
– “Multitasking”
– Large memory – “Virtual memory”
– Disks and other secondary storage are
organized as collections of files – “File systems”
– Windows and menus – “Graphical User
Interface (GUI)”

Operating Systems Capabilities:
Virtual Storage
• Virtual Storage is the method of handling
several programs in primary storage:
– Program divided into
• Fixed length portions(pages) OR
• Variable length (segments)
– Current portions reside in primary storage,
portions swapped out when done.
HUANG Lihua, Fudan University
Operating Systems
Capabilities: time sharing
MANY USERS SHARE LARGE CPU:
• Time in CPU divided into slices (e.g.: 2
microseconds)
• Each user has access to CPU during slice.
• Single CPU is fast, can do much during
time slice
• User’s job swapped out at end of slice
HUANG Lihua, Fudan University
Operating Systems Capabilities:
Multiprocessing
• Links together two or more CPUs to work
in parallel in a single computer systems to
execute two or more instructions.
– Program can be divided to be processed by
multiple CPUs.
– Can process large programs more rapidly

Operating Systems Capabilities:
File Systems
• Reality:
– Disks are sets of tracks(磁道)
– Tracks are sets of sectors(扇区)
– Sectors can store fixed- sized byte blocks
• Illusion:
– Disks are sets of directories (目录)
– Directories contain other directories or files
– Files are variable- size byte sequences
– Directories and files have names
HUANG Lihua, Fudan University
Operating Systems Capabilities:
Windows and Menus
• Reality: Screen is an array of pixels(象素数组)
• Illusion 1: Menus
– Depending on where you click, different action
happens
– Technique: OS looks up location where mouse was
clicked, executes appropriate action
• Illusion 2: Overlapping windows
– A window may cover part or all of another
– When a window is uncovered, its contents are
redisplayed
– Technique: OS saves bitmap(位图) of covered
windows
HUANG Lihua, Fudan University
» Application does
not need to know how to redraw the
contents of its window

Selecting an Operating
System
• Is our existing software compatible with the OS?
• Does the OS have a large base of compatible
software?
• How reliable is the OS? Does it crash frequently?
• Is the OS available for a wide variety of hardware?
• How quickly does it run?
• How easy it is to learn and use?
• How easy is it to install and configure?
• How much does it cost?

CONTEMPORARY TOOLS FOR
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
• Object-oriented programming
– Approach to software development that
combines data and procedures into a single
object
• Objects are independent, reusable building blocks
• Based on concepts of class and inheritance
• Visual programming
– Construction of software programs by selecting
and arranging programming objects
HUANG Lihua, Fudan University
Class and inheritance
HUANG Lihua, Fudan University
CONTEMPORARY TOOLS FOR
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

– Delivers the software functionality needed for a particular task
– Runs on any computer and operating system, Platform-independent
• Hypertext Markup Language (HTML):
– Page description language, creates Web pages and other
hypermedia documents
• XML (eXtensible Markup Language):
– Describes the structure of a document, supports links to multiple
documents, allowing data

– Ties together multiple applications to support enterprise
integration
HUANG Lihua, Fudan University
Enterprise application integration
(EAI) software versus traditional
integration
HUANG Lihua, Fudan University
Software for Enterprise Integration

they are stored
• Application server:
– Middleware software handling application operations
between user and back-end business systems

软件的发展趋势
• 硬件和软件的发展是不对称的。
• 硬件是以等比的速度增长
– (每1.5年增长一倍),
• 而软件是等差级数增长
– (每年增长4-7%).
HUANG Lihua, Fudan University
软件危机
•
“软件危机”在六十年代已经存在
–
–
•
一些过来人把软件人员形容为“陷入泥潭中的一群野兽”
七十年代后期愈演愈烈:根据美国政府统计局1979年公布的统计数
字表明,几个联邦软件计划共投资6.8百万美元,47%($3.2M)交
付但从来未使用,29%($2.0M)投资了但未交付,19%($1.3M)被
费弃或返工,3%(0.2M)经过某种改变后被使用,仅2%(0.1M)交付
后被使用。
90年代,软件危机尚未过去
–
如Widows 2000的发行,根据微软一份备忘录显示:微软共
发现63000个“潜在问题”,可能影响Windows 2000的运行
•
•
–
逾21000“延迟性”设计缺陷,其中相当多部分被微软公司认定
为“真正的问题”,
逾27000条“Bug”,在微软看来,这代表“尚未完成的工作”
或“久被遗忘的问题”。
实力最强大的软件公司尚如此,何况其他软件产
品呢?

HUANG Lihua, Fudan University
Open Source Development
• There is an increasing trend toward using
this as a method of software development.
• In this method source code is distributed
and developers can improve and add to code
as they see fit, good ideas are then included
into the product.
• This method allows software products to
grow and improve in a natural organic way.

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of
Technology Assets
• Includes both direct and indirect costs
• Hardware and software acquisitions account
for only 20% of TCO
• TCO for a PC may run to three times
original purchase price
• Hidden costs can make distributed
architecture more expensive than
centralized mainframes
